The video profile

Traditional CVs are two-dimensional; they give an employer some clues as to who they may be recruiting, but a digital CV gives them much more depth to their understanding of what they would be employing.

If a recruiter reads a personal profile, they are the active party; if you present your personal profile via a video profile, then you are the active party in really selling your skills and personality. In other words, the real you.
